This iconic town, sitting a mile and a half from England’s largest lake and nestled among the spectacular fells of the Lake District, is the perfect destination for lovers of the great outdoors.
There are plenty of activities to keep you busy, based around the town and on the lake itself. Venture into the nearby town of Bowness-on-Windermere for a lakeside ice cream or hire a boat for the full Windermere experience! If you’d rather someone else did the driving, step aboard a Windermere Lake Cruise and spend the day hopping between the beautiful towns of Ambleside, Lakeside and Brockhole.
There are endless miles of walking routes in the Lake District, each offering views as breathtaking as the next, so why not join in with one of the many guided walks or head out exploring for yourself.
If you’re looking for a little retail therapy after all that exploring, the town of Windermere has a good variety of local independent shops and is also home to the flagship store for Lakeland.
Fans of Peter Rabbit and Co have the opportunity to delve into the World Of Beatrix Potter and discover the fascinating stories behind the characters, with plenty of activities for all the family to enjoy. True fans of the authoress should also take a trip across the lake to Beatrix’s most beloved property, Hill Top, for a deeper insight into her livelihood and inspiration for many illustrations and tales!
